DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate tosmoking accessories and more particularly to a straight shooter lightersystem as used to improve the convenient use of lighters and pipes.

Generally, the present invention provides users with a lighter with anintegrated smoking pipe, keeping both tools in a single, easy-to-findlocation. The device allows users to smoke tobacco and other flammablesubstances without the need to buy rolling papers or oversized pipes. Itincludes an integrated bat-style pipe with a chamber for storing thepipe on one side of the lighter. It offers a way for users to detach thepipe from the rest of the lighter to smoke and then reattached to makeit back into one piece.

The present invention effectively eliminates the worry of losingsubstance flavor while smoking due to rolling papers and otherinefficient smoking tools. The STRAIGHT SHOOTER LIGHTER™ is a lighterwith an integrated bat-style pipe. There may be (at least) two models(versions/embodiments) for the lighter. The first model has acompartment for lighter fluid and a second for the pipe. The pipe can beremoved by detaching it from pressure clasps and reattached it withminimal force. Users can light and smoke tobacco and other substanceswith one convenient tool. The second model includes a compartment forlighter fluid and a second compartment in which the pipe is stored. Thepipe can be removed (via a method of use) by sliding open a bottom capwhen the user wishes to smoke. Straight Shooter Lighter can beconstructed using glass, metal, and other suitable materials (otherfire-resistant materials). The lighters may be available in varioussizes in order to accommodate all user needs and preferences. Further,each lighter may be available in various colors, styles, and designs.
